Relay For Life
Since Kim has added her unique Relay For Life shooter on the Whiff and Sniff site, and I have registered my Relay For Life team with our local Relay, I ventured out to Etsy to see what shops are offering items to raise money for cancer awareness and the fight against cancer.
While Four Purls is a small Etsy shop, this particular item stood out to me the most in my Relay For Life search on Etsy. It’s a 
bracelet that is hand knit using a hemp string and purple beading. It’s so unique and eye catching – and all of the proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Grab it now & order one for your Relay walking buddy and you’ll be walkin’ in style!
I also like the Relay For Life HOPE magnets in Tabasc1′s shop. They’re glass
marbles made into magnets! These carry the theme from the 2009 Relay For Life: Celebrating Hope. At just $1 each, you could get one for each of your Relay teammates as a thank you for participating.
If you haven’t participated in a Relay event, I encourage you to do so…especially if you know someone that is fighting cancer or has lost their battle to cancer. I’ve set my fundraising goal and so can you!
No trackbacks yet.

I already ate yet I’m still starving. I’m craving massive amounts of junk food and I can’t help it. I like to bake but I just don’t have much time anymore now that I’m working again. I barely have time to breathe let alone eat. Thankfully I have Etsy to browse in my spare time. [...]

I am leaving for vacation tomorrow and we are traveling to Gatlinburg, Tennessee to do some hiking and sight-seeing. I thought I would use Etsy Shop Local to see what fine crafters hail from where I will be spending all of next week (with very limited Internet access, so you will not be seeing me on [...]

I’m excited to be a team captain once again and share my love for Relay as my Jaycee chapter here in Minnesota Relays for the first time. We’ve even held our first fundraiser, which was [...]

Yesterday, Heather posted items to honor the start of Baseball season featuring her favorite team. I thought it was a great idea and I would follow up with some from my favorite team (and I am so glad Heather is a White Sox fan rather than a Cubs fan, or there might be a throw-down [...]

…in perfect harmony! The first thing that came to my mind when I stumbled across this amazing handmade find was this old jingle once used in Coca-Cola commercials. It made me a little nostalgic and homesick as I sit here thinking about one of my good friends back in Chicagoland who has a whole cozy [...]
